CeeDee Lamb has never been one to hide his emotions. Whether he’s torching defenses on Sundays or dropping unfiltered thoughts on social media, the Cowboys’ star receiver keeps it real. And this offseason? He’s had plenty to react to. First, it was the contract drama. Then, the never-ending Micah Parsons situation. And just when things couldn’t get any more chaotic, Lamb found himself learning about a major roster move the same way fans did—through his phone, live on stream. His reaction said it all.

For a player who just restructured his deal to help Dallas, the silence from the front office is getting old. And if Jerry Jones doesn’t step up soon, Lamb might start making bigger moves of his own—not just for his future in the league, but beyond it.

Lamb straight-up said he’s considering getting into streaming after learning that content creators like N3on are making NFL money. Yes, that N3on. The guy pulling in superstar-level cash without ever dodging a safety or running a slant route. So, when CeeDee said, “I’m gonna get into it,” you know he wants the bags without the everyday headaches that he’s been getting in the Big D.

Talking about the headaches, the latest one got added to the list in the form of Demarcus Lawrence. Live. On stream. He checked his phone and found out that his teammate had bolted to Seattle. His reaction? Pure shock. But we are sure he was happy that Lawrence didn’t choose the Bears. That would have been a bummer, especially after he dissed the team on live stream. Banter aside, though, he was shocked. Similar to how he vented out after the whole mess with Parsons, stretching over into trade talks.

And honestly, can you blame him? Dallas’ contract games have worn him out. He said it himself—“Y’all aren’t tired of this?”—calling out the never-ending cycle of uncertainty. Last year, he dealt with it. Now, he’s watching it happen to Parsons. If the Cowboys keep playing hardball, who’s to say Lamb won’t eventually take his talents elsewhere?

Jerry Jones needs to sort the mess before CeeDee Lamb says goodbye!

CeeDee Lamb just did the Cowboys a solid. He restructured his contract, freeing up $20 million in cap space. That’s not small change—that’s impact money. And what did Dallas do with it? They kept Osa Odighizuwa around. Not a bad move, but let’s be real—this roster still has holes. And with $52.75 million left in cap space, the question is: Will Jerry Jones finally spend like a team that wants to win?

What’s your perspective on:

Are the Cowboys' contract games pushing stars like CeeDee Lamb to seek greener pastures?

Have an interesting take?

Lamb has made it clear—he’s here to win, not just put up numbers. He even took to social media, practically begging Dallas to stop dragging its feet. So, the Cowboys can’t keep doing this dance—waiting until the last minute to lock up their stars. It’s a tired script, and Lamb, just like the fans, is sick of it.

Speaking of sickening, Parsons’ contract. Osa gets the bag. #11 has to wait. That’s the Jerry Jones circus summed up for you. Dallas has been playing financial gymnastics for years, but now they have real money to spend. If they don’t lock up the big names soon, it could go from dominant to disastrous.

Meanwhile, free agency has been meh at best. Javonte Williams, Solomon Thomas, and a few role players? Not exactly the blockbuster moves Cowboys fans were hoping for. Meanwhile, teams like the Eagles and 49ers are loading up for another run. If Dallas keeps playing it safe, they’ll be watching the playoffs from home again. And Lamb? He’s not the type to wait around forever.

So, what’s Jerry’s next move? He’s got the cap space. He’s got his best receiver adjusting his own deal to help. And he’s got a fanbase that’s had enough of the almosts. The clock is ticking. If he doesn’t act now, don’t be surprised when Lamb’s next big announcement isn’t about streaming—but about leaving Dallas for good.
